Corporate Cake Decorating Workshop: Piping, Icing and a Lot of Fun with Chef Yoma
Forget trust falls — nothing brings a team together quite like a piping bag, a bit of competitive icing, and a Michelin-trained pastry chef keeping everyone in line (kindly).
We recently hosted a corporate cake decorating workshop for the team at Fora, led by our very own Chef Yoma, who honed her craft as a pastry chef in a Michelin-starred kitchen. The result? A room full of colleagues turning plain sponges into genuinely impressive creations — and having a brilliant time doing it.
Why Cake Decorating Makes a Great Team Day
Low pressure, high reward — no baking experience needed, just steady hands and a sense of humour
Properly hands-on — a real break from screens and meetings
Something to show off — everyone leaves with a cake they made (and a story about it)
A touch of Michelin-level skill — Chef Yoma brings professional pastry techniques down to earth for total beginners
Meet Chef Yoma
Chef Yoma spent years as a pastry chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant before bringing her expertise to corporate workshops. She's precise, patient, and brilliant at making advanced techniques feel achievable — whether you've never held a piping bag or you're the office's self-proclaimed baking expert.
How the Workshop Works
1. Welcome & Cake Basics — Chef Yoma introduces the tools, textures and techniques for the day, from smooth buttercream finishes to simple sugarcraft details.
2. Icing the Cake — Teams learn how to crumb-coat and smooth a cake like a professional, setting the base for decoration.
3. Piping & Decorating — The fun part. Colleagues get creative with piping techniques, colours and finishing touches, with Chef Yoma on hand for tips (and quiet rescues).
4. Show & Tell — Everyone presents their cake to the group before tucking in together.
